Manchester United have activated a £35million release clause to sign Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa.

United are working on bringing in new midfielders this summer and Tielemans has become the latest player to be linked with a move.

The 29-year-old, who played for Belgium at the World Cup, has two years left on his contract at Villa.

Tielemans will likely fill the void left by Casemiro, who looks likely to join Inter Miami following his Old Trafford exit.

United are also set to complete the signing of Andrey Santos from their Premier League rivals Chelsea in a £50m move.

Tielemans has 244 appearances in the Premier League across spells at Leicester City and Villa.
